Scrutinising South African media companies’ strategies for Generation Z’s news consumption
This research scrutinises the strategies that three of South Africa’s largest mainstream media companies, namely, Media24, Independent News and Media, and Arena Holdings use to attract younger audiences, particularly Generation Z. The main question under focus is: Are South African media companies innovating adequately in their news media content and platforms to attract young audiences? The research examines the issue from both the discourses of…
Glass Ceilings
This article is an explication of the patchwork quilt of various sexist subjections and stereotyping that women journalists experience in the South African media. It makes an assessment of women journalists’ status 25 years after the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action (BPfA), adopted by 189 countries as a roadmap for gender equality. Women and Media, a critical area of concern of the BPfA, calls for commitment to end sexism and sexist st…
Media Freedom in South Africa Today
This article assesses the multiple factors which are barriers to media freedom in South Africa. These include crises of financial sustainability of the media sector which have recently been compounded by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic; widespread job losses in journalism; and harassment and physical violence against journalists from political representatives, security services, the judiciary, citizens and from within the media sector itself. …
Disrupted for Life
This article is an explication of the experiences of journalist job losses in South Africa as digitisation in newsrooms began and then accelerated in this age of misinformation, disinformation and propaganda. Theoretically, the article is framed through one of the important roles of journalism in a democracy: that journalists make an enormous contribution to the public by shining the spotlight on those with power. In addition, journalists are mea…
Power and Loss in South African Journalism
Chasing hashtag#25 in the newsroom presents challenges for journalism education. But what are they
The breathlessness to embrace digital first does not necessarily mean better journalism, better democracy, or better journalism education. This must be borne in mind, as the contours of what constitutes journalism in 2015 keep changing and becoming blurry. The question for journalism educators today is this: To what extent should journalism schools keep pace with the latest trends in the industry, and chase, for example, hashtag#25? The latter is…
Paradoxical Splits
Since the new democracy, journalists in South Africa have been faced with a particularly subjecting call from the ruling party, the African National Congress: a call to be loyal, conflating this in the process with the liberation project of the past. This article examines how black journalists reacted to this call, and what sort of ‘turns’ they made in the aftermath of a luncheon organised by the Forum for Black Journalists in 2008, from which th…
How far does Twitter deepen democracy through public engagement
The use of social media, mainly Twitter, in the Johannesburg newsroom presents an opportunity for the opening up of media spaces to public engagement, thereby deepening democracy. This article, framed through radical democratic theory, is a scrutiny of journalists’ use of Twitter. The article deploys multidimensional methods against a theoretical conceptual approach. It uses a content analysis of Twitter feeds, discourse analysis, as well as inte…
